MG FF: ~ABHI NAHIN AANA~ THREAD #4 - Page 42

Arjun was getting frustrated...this was harder than he thought. It would have been better if he had finished it off last night itself.. and her screams echoed in the empty house..and it was just maan...maan...maan!!!

He tried to hold on to her..but she fought her way out..she screamed..cried and begged him to let her go to maan. Geet wanted to escape this place...his clutched that suffocated her to death. The only thing that ran in her mind was going back to maan. Her mind had stopped thinking anything else at all. This time he held her firm... and tight.. she looked around only to see a vase right beside her. thats it! she wouldn't even feel guilty if she killed him. she took the vase and banged it right on his head...making him scream in pain. He punched her right on her stomach making her spit blood. He fell on the floor, screaming with pain. She frantically looked around for her dress..but they were torn perhaps. She looked around, collected her shirt, took the spread and ran away. She desperately searched for the door when her eyes fell on her bag discarded on the floor. she just clutched it tight unless it had something that could help her and ran out.

Early streaks of dawn adored the sky and the birds had just woken up. She pulled on her shirt and covered bare self with the spread and ran out with whatever energy that was left within her. the roads were empty and she just didn't know where she was. She just ran like a maniac..there was no way she would have allowed him to do anything to her...her entire being was made for maan and just maan... kisi aur ko usey choone ka haq nahin. She probably tripped a few times here and there until she reached very far from that place, panting furiously. She was still not gotten over with the shock. She looked here and there and rested against a lamp post, trying to catch her breath. The chill air of the morning soothed her senses when reality struck hard!!! She looked at her battered self... helpless, lonely and scared. Events with arjun flashed in her mind as more tears spilled out her eyes.. what if she wouldn't had been able to escape on the right time?? She might just have killed herself right there...she couldn't be tainted for life.. she couldn't have gone back to maan anymore...she couldn't have gone home too!!!

The first thing that came to her mind was going home to nisha and Ana...but she stopped! How could she go like this in front of them?? there were so much emotions... her dad gave her the entire responsibility of taking care of the family.. she was the one chosen to take care of the family after her dad... how will she go home like this? She probably couldn't connect to anyone there now. Nisha will be worried... Ana will cry... yes they will but who will understand her? she didn't to go home in this vulnerable state...and Arjun might catch up soon as well. she looked around.. people had started coming out of their houses. The sun was rising. Few people on street were giving her weird looks. She just couldn't remain here like this! She looked around any sign of where could she possibly be and walked a bit ahead to find a familiar signboard. She knew she can go to her... actually she had no choice right now. She was strong and she had to hold on to her sanity to at least come out of this mess first. She covered her head with that spread unless someone recognised her and ran to the nearest apartment. She tried hard not to let her identy be revealed.. she was the Geet handa and it wouldn't take a minute for people to recognise her. she hurried through the corridor and finally stopped in front of the door and rung the bell.

She had to keep herself away from people...until she was okay. She rung the bell a few more times like a maniac. Tears were her best friends it seemed. When the door still didn;t open, she knocked it hard until she heard the click of the door.

Sasha had just woken up when she heard the bell ring ruthlessly making her worried about who could it be. She ran towards the door and opened it and stood shocked to see Geet in such a condition. her face was bruised at places.. she had coered herself in a spread.. blood oozed out of her mouth and those tearful eyes!! She couldn't believe what she was seeing but Geet's broken voice brought her back to her senses.

"Sasha...", her voice trembled.

Sasha recollected herself and immediately pulled her in closing the door, "ma'am.. are you alright? What happened to you? Where were you the whole night? nisha ma'am had been worried sick..."

"I... I...", she couldn't even complete her words and fell on Sasha, unconscious.

He hadn't been able to sleep the whole night..and it was morning already. He just couldn't forget the moment when she had called...her voice.. each and every word of her echoed in his mind... why did she even call when she didn't want to keep any relation between them? and moreover...how did she come to know about the farmhouse thing? She said she was hurt..was she really or was she pretending? He didn't know whether to trust her or not.. he was in such a dilemma that nothing seemed to make sense! She was drunk...and thats why she was blabbering nonsense? She was crying too..was she okay? His whole night went by just tossing and turning. It struck 7am and he just tried to halt his thoughts... should he even call her back? His phone rang and he sighed. The day was going to be very long indeed...so many paper works..so much work to finish before he takes a final leave.

Sasha somehow managed to take Geet to bed and checked her wounds. She was scared...shocked to hell. what could have happened to her? she pulled away the spread only to see her in her inners and her shirt loosely pulled her. there were cuts and scratch marks.. her lips were bleeding...her forehead had a bump..and it didn't take her long to realise that she had been sexually abused. She felt the corners of her eyes burn...no girl could bear this!!! She looked at Geet's pale face and realized her effort to break free. She immediately called the doctor and cleaned Geet's wounds. she sprinkled some water on her face and saw her stir a bit. Sasha checked Geet thoroughly and somewhere she felt she was raped. But she waited for the doctor to come. She had to know what happened to Geet.

It took her some time to come into her senses and adjust her eyes to the light. She felt a warm duvet cover her, making her warm. She looked here and there wondering where she was and sighed realizing she had come to Sasha's place. There was no one in the room and she was safe perhaps.. at least for the time being. She pulled the duvet closer and looked at the ceiling..still not able to believe what had just happened with her. a tear rolled down her eyes.. and another..and another.. vanishing into the pillow. What has her life come to?? What had just happened? She heard a click on the door and she didn't even wipe her tears away.

Sasha came closer and sat beside her. she wouldn't be surprised if she saw Geet crying. she could very well understand what she might have gone through and coming to her place even in that condition was very courageous of her indeed.

"how are you feeling ma'am?"

Geet didn't respond. She just kept on looking blankly at the ceiling and her tears didn't seem to stop. Sasha knew she had to be very careful with Geet. she came to her..it means she trusts her just like her father and she'd make sure Geet was safe. More than Geet being her senior, Geet was younger to her in age and she could really understand what she might be feeling. She had to guide her. she softl caressed her head, "you are safe here.. I have called the doctor.. please take these clothes and change before she comes.."

Geet looked at her blankly and then at the clothes that she held. She sat up slowly.. her entire body ached with the pain cruising through her. shasha held her gently and led her towards the washroom. She put the clothes on the hanger and closed the door behind. She knew Geet was strong..but such a attempt would shatter any girl's confidence.. even for a person like Geet.

Geet stood in front of the mirror, pushing off the shirt from her shoulders. she took off her inners and stood naked... investigating her body. There were scratch marks around her swells, cuts on her skin...bruises on her skin...dried blood sticking to her lips...her eyes welled up.. being reminded of the dreadful night. she ran to the shower and turned on the shower and stood right under it, washing herself.. mumbling to herself like a maniac, "Geet ke paas koi nahin hain... Geet akeli hain..."

[Geet doesn't have anyone with her... Geet is lonely...]

She rubbed her skin... her swells where bite marks were still afresh... she actually scratched her skin till it was red and the water gave a burning sensation. She rubbed the soap on the bruised skin... that burned her... but she was far away from all that.. she just kept on mumbling, "Geet ne kitna bulaya maan ko.. maan tho Geet se baat hi nahin karna chahta... nahi aaya wo.. nahi aaya wo...wo Geet se naraz hain...geet buri ladki hain.."

[Geet called out for maan... she called so much..but maan doesn't want to speak to Geet.. he didn't come... he didn't come.. he is mad at Geet... Geet is a bad girl..]

And then she stopped... realizing what she said, "Geet is a bad girl..."

And the next moment she burst out crying like a baby... sitting on the floor under the shower, crying her eyes out. Why did it had to be her? the entire body was burning but she cried... she cant go back home... she cant go back to maan... she just can't... she cried and cried and cried for god knows how long. She heard Sasha calling out to her. the doctor had come. She wiped her tears, wiped herself dry, put on the lose pjs and kurti and came out, supporting herself by the wall.

Sasha ran to her and helped her settle on the bed. The doctor did a thorough check up and asked how it all happened. She waited for Geet to answer..but Geet was blank... like she was just too lost somewhere. Sasha realized Geet wasn't in a position to speak, so she handled it herself, "she has been a victim of sexual harrassement..."

The doctor looked at sahsa quizzically, "did you go for a rape test? Though I don't think she had been raped..but still please be confirmed. She needs time to get over with this trauma and then proceed further informing the police if needed be..."

Sasha paid a hefty amount to the doctor not to reveal anything about Geet to anyone. She knew this news has to be kept under wraps unless Geet herself recovered and was ready to give a statement against the person who dared to that to her. she went back to check on Geet and her eyes just filled up seeing her so lost. She was hardly 25 or 26..and she had seen so much in life. she slowly went closer and sat beside Geet.

"ma'am... how are you feeling now? Shall I get something to eat? You need to take some medicines.."

But Geet didn't even have anything left within her to reply. She was blank. She was lonely.. she was scared and she just had no one who would peep into her heart just once. they were distracted with Sasha's phone ringing loudly. Sasha checked the caller and stopped seeing nisha on the other side. She wondered what would she say... but then it was important to let your family know about this. She looked at Geet who still looked blank. She sighed and decided to tell nisha about Geet's condition. she was about to take the call when Geet held her hands.

This was the first reaction that Geet gave after coming to her. Sasha looked at her eyes brimming with tears and her head shaking a no.

"ma'am.. please tell your family..."

Geet shook her head for a no and held her hands tighter, "no... please don't tell anything to Chachi..or Ana.. they will be worried.. please..."

"but ma'am..."

"Sasha please...", tears rolled down her eyes, "not now... tell her am out for some work.. anything but I don't want them to worry about me.. I will be fine in a few days I guess.. but please not now..."

Sasha was moved by her pleading voice..her tears. She knows how it feels when someone is in a situation like this.. Geet might just go and tell them herself. She'd better do things as Geet wished.. for Geet needed to hold herself first before coming to the public eye. Reluctantly, Sasha took the call and was greeted by a worried nisha. she looked at Geet whose eyes were pleading her not to tell anything. She sighed.. knowing Geet had trusted her more than her family and thats why she chose to confide in her.

"yes ma'am..geet ma'am is all fine. She got some important call from New York and she left last night itself."

"but why is her phone coming switched off? And why you never went with her this time? Is something wrong?", nisha was frustrated. She was angry at Geet for taking life for granted.

"no no..it was urgent so she had to leave. Her phone had actually broken in the office itself.. I stayed back because we have some important meetings lined up and ma'am isn't here so..."

"just make sure Geet calls me by the end of the day Sasha...or even a small text..i don;t understand what you girls are up to..."

"please don't worry ma'am... I will right away contact her..."

She finished the call and tunred to face Geet who suddenly seemed a bit calm.

"thank you..", she muttered faintly and turned sideways to sleep.

--------------------------------------------

It was only 6pm when maan actually got some time to breathe. Shifting from one place to another.. with his work and clients.. it was hectic. But he still hadn't understood the reason why she had called. He kept himself more and more busy so as not to think of her.. but her words just echoed in his mind. how did she even know he was selling their farm house?? it wasn't easy for him..but did it mean anything for the person whom he cherished the most? He drove towards the farmhouse to check. The next day it was to be auctioned. He stopped right in front of the main gate and the security came to greet him. he came out of his car and looked around the place while the security opened the front gates for him.

"rehne do..iski koi zarurat nahin... I will anyways leave now.."

[leave it.. its not needed. I will anyways leave now..]

"ji sir...", he seemed to think something and then spoke out, "sir.. Geet ma'am kal raat yahan aayi thi..."

[yes sir... sir Geet ma'am had come here last night..]

He was shocked to hear that...she was here? But why?

"yahan? Kitne baje?"

[here? At what time?]

"umm..yahin kareeb kareeb shaam 7:30 baje... bahut pareshaan lag rahi thi.. shayad aapko dhoondh rahin thi.."

[umm.. somewhere around 7:30pm.. she looked quite tensed..may be she was searching for you]

This was too much of news for maan. Come to think of it..she had called around midnight..talking all nonsense.. she was drunk perhaps! Drunk?? Worried? She had even cried over the phone saying she was very hurt because of his decision to sell their farmhouse. Something just clicked in his mind...was she alright?

"what did you tell her?"

"she wanted to go inside so I stopped her and told that you are selling away this farmhouse...and then she drove away..."

By this time he was sure there was definitely something wrong...something that he was missing out. He drove towards his office..lost in his thoughts...first of all she was here.. she wanted to go inside.. she called him and cried and said she was hurt.. and that everyone left her... there was something amiss here. Definitely something must have happened...or else knowing Geet, she wouldn't even have come to the farmhouse seeking peace. He was suddenly getting worried..her being drunk.. crying.. her words.. everything was scaring him. he was suddenly reminded of something and he stopped with a jerk, pushing the brakes hard. He recalled the time he had gone to meet her in the office.. she was searching for something like a maniac... and when she spoke to him.. she did have tears in her eyes. He hit the steering... ohh god..how can he miss so many things? She had been worried about something since then... there was definitely something wrong. He had to see her right now. He reverse geared and rushed to handa mansion. He had to know what was wrong with her.. if she was alright or not.. if she was bothered about something in particular. On the way he tried to call her but her number came switched off. He was now getting worried as he accelerated faster towards the mansion.

Nisha was sitting in the living room when maan barged into the mnsion calling out to Geet, "Geet...where are you? Come out... Geettt..."

Nisha was shocked to see maan this frantic and shouting for Geet. she ran to him and held him, "maan whats the matter beta? Is something wrong?"

"chahi... Geet kahan hain? Ussey bulaiye.."

[Chachi where is Geet? call her..]

Nisha sighed wondering what was wrong and why was he panicking so much, "shh its okay beta... Geet is in new york right now. She got an important call and left..infact she left last night only."

Maan was not convinced, "but Chachi..why her phone is coming switched off then?"

Nisha smiled and caressed his head, "her phone is broken beta..she will take time to fix it up and call back.. please relax.."

Maan looked at nisha for a while and left. Nisha wondered if something was again cooking up between them but knowing Geet she wouldn't bet on that. maan drove back to his place thinking about whatever was happening. Wait a minute! Nisha said Geet was in NY since last night.. but Geet had called him last night and that too from her Indian number. He braked hard in front of the mansion...there was definitely something wrong. Either Geet lied or nisha didn't know anything.

Sasha came to check on Geet and give her the medicines. She had somehow managed to convince her to have some food. She saw Geet still looking at the ceiling blankly. Her eyes had so much to speak..but given her nature, she wasn't supposed to speak anything. She wasn't supposed to wince a bit even if it pained.. and that suffocated her. she had her emotions bottled up so tightly that she just couldn't speak out even if she wanted to.

Sasha touched her forehead and panicked feeling her temperature soaring high.

"ma'am...", she called out softly. Geet didn't even react.

Geet was anyways under so much mental pressure and now this face off with arjun was something that hit her the worst. She was sinking deeper into a darkness that none knew. She felt she was in such a position that she could just never go back to anyone. She was tainted... she was touched by someone she shouldn't have been... she can't go back home because theres no one who would even understand her.

"ma'am...please take your medicine.." Sasha was so worried for her.

Geet just gave a blank look and sat up to take the medicine. Sasha helped her take it and made her comfy.

"would you like to speak to nisha ma'am??"

Sasha waited patiently for her to speak but Geet was far from reacting at all. It was worrisome but one thing she was sure of that she wasn't raped. She had managed to take Geet to the same doctor and wraps. Media should never know about this until Geet was fine. Depression was inevitable in such a state but what she didn't know was the self-loathe that Geet was going through.

"no... let me go... maan...", she cried yet again in her sleep, calling out for help. She could still feel that creepy touch all over her body. She writhed and twisted uncomfortable and woke up with a start. The room was completely dark except the faint moonlight peeping through the window. She was so scared of the same thing happening to her. she pushed away the spread and ran towards the corner of the room and cuddled up on the floor, hiding her face between her knees and sobbing. The bed seemed to remind her of that dreadful act that tumbled her entire life upside down. She wanted to see maan... just so that he could say it was okay.. but how could she have gone to him now? Will he believe her? will he even listen to her at the first place?

Maan's night was sleepless... he had to know what happened with Geet. it was past 11pm when he had called up her office. No one took the call..her phone was still unreachable and he just didn't know what was happening. He had promised not to succumb to his feelings for her..but how could he have remained in peace when his jaan was so much in pain?

The next morning Sasha came to check on Geet and found her sleeping on the floor in one corner of the room. She panicked wondering what could have gone wrong. She ran to her, woke up and put her on bed. Her temperature was still not down.. she looked pale and weak. She wondered if she had to get her to a psychiatrist first!!! She sighed and waited for her wake up. It was an hour later that Geet woke up and found herself on bed again. she looked around scared but relaxed immediately seeing Sasha right beside her.

"ma'am... how are you feeling now? You want something?"

"i...I am fine...", she mumbled out weakly, "tumhe office jaana hain na..."

[you have to go to office right?]

"office? You are not well..."

Geet stood up and smiled, "am okay Sasha.. office will be in a mess. Please go ahead..."

Sasha tried to make sure she will be okay after she left for she never wanted to leave Geet alone in this state but she managed to convince her and that she'd take care of herself. Sahsa got ready and went towards the door when Geet came out from her room.

"I will be back soon ma'am..plea se call me if you need anything. I have prepared breakfast and please move around. You will feel better..."

She turned towards the door when Geet called her, "Sasha..."

"yes..", she turned only to see Geet giving her a smile, "thank you.. thank you for everything..."

Sahsa was amazed... this was not the Geet handa she was witnessing now. She was probably getting the glimpse of the rea Geet within her.

"that is why I am here ma'am.. you don't have to worry about anything. I will take care.. "

She left...leaving Geet all alone in the house. she sighed and fell on the couch. She didn;t want to be a burden on sahsa... she knew how much Sasha has done for her.. she was touched by her loyality to her family but she was in no ways going to be a free loader at her place. Her conscience didn't allow her..no matter how unwell she was. She felt hungry and looked around for the breakfast tray that Sasha had left. She found it on the dining table. She took off the lid and found cheese pasta. She inhaled that sweet aroma when another memory hit her...

She had been to the farm house with maan...and he had cooked his favourite cheese pasta for her because she was hungry. She felt drops of tears cascade down her eyes as she took the first bite, "maan... come back...please...", a whimper escaped her lips, "but... i...i can;t go back to you..." And she broke down yet again... falling on the floor, crying her eyes out.

Sahsa broke the news to everyone that Geet had urgently left for NY because of a call so that none suspected. Once that was done, she went to Geet's cabin to check on stuffs. She walked in keeping her things aside when a sharp voice his her ears, "sahsa... where is Geet?"

She turned back recognising that voice and found maan standing right in front of her. he looked mad.. angry and someone who could just kill to get her. for a moment she thought she'd tell him about Geet but then stopped... it wasn't right. it would complicate things.

"where is Geet?", he screamed.

She loked away, "ma'am is in New York... she got some important call..."

"she is not in NY and I know that...", he barked, not evening letting her complete her sentence.

Shasha was shocked but she maintained her demeanour, "she is in NY sir..."

Maan was so angry..frustrated..he just marched towards her seeming as of he might just kill her. Sasha was indeed scared for a moment.

"just tell me where is Geet..."

"am sorry sir.. but I cant reveal that..."

He held her shoulders and shook her like hell, "just tell me damn it...where is Geet?"

Sahsa looked away, feeling that pain, "I have strict orders not to tell about ma'am to anyone..."

She knew there was no point in hiding anything but she played safe. Maan screamed at her yet again and this time Sasha retorted back, "this is not your office.. kindly maintain the decorum and please leave..."

She just walked away to a scheduled meeting, feeling glad to have escaped maan. She knew maan wouldn't rest until he found out about Geet. she just finished with the meeting and rushed home soon as the clock struck 4pm. She unlocked the door and walked in to check on Geet and stood aghast seeing her in the washroom, sitting under the shower, doing something. She ran inside to see her talking to herself and rubbing her skin clean. She had soap lathered all over..she was still wearing her pjs and lost in her own world, scaring the hell out of Sasha.
